Description: Rebuilding a historic sailing yacht - Planking Tally Ho! (EP86) Support; sampsonboat.co.uk/support Become a Patron; patreon.com/sampsonboatco ---- EPISODE 86. In this episode, we start to get the “hang” of the planking! The first quick job is to put the Stopwaters into the centreline seams - softwood dowels which will swell up and prevent water ingress. Then the first Angelique Garboard is hung, and is quickly followed by more Topside Planks and Broads. Meanwhile, I jury-rig a circular saw to cut rolling bevels, which helps speed up cutting the planks out. The other guys get into the swing of riveting, with the help of a homemade “Dolly” (otherwise known as a “Bucking Iron”). We are still speeding up, but by the end of the first 2 weeks of planking we have 12 planks on the boat, which I’m pretty happy with! ---- To become a Patron - patreon.com/sampsonboatco To donate or support - sampsonboat.co.uk/support My Amazon Wishlist a.co/76y5IZP For sneaky previews of what’s going on in between episodes, follow my FACEBOOK facebook.com/sampsonboatco and INSTAGRAM instagram.com/sampsonboatco.
